Sex, Dating, and Relationships: Reviews
A while back I gave away free copies of our book, Sex, Dating, and Relationships: A Fresh Approach to bloggers willing to write a review. I didn’t get a review back from everyone, but here are links to those who wrote a review (plus a few others I scrounged up from the web). Thanks everyone!Gregory Campeau–”I hope to convince you that every pastor, discipler, parent, and young adult should read, study, and discuss this book.”
Abbye West Pate–”What I found most important [about this book] is its thoughtfulness in helping us understand sex and its deep connection to the gospel….As one who has been through the throes of pre-marriage relationships with lack of sexual boundaries, I urge you to get a copy of this book!”
Eric Rubio–”In keeping with their layman’s-terms approach to their subject, the authors devote substantial space in their book to discussion of practical issues. Their heartfelt cautions about guarding one’s heart is one of the strongest facets of the practical discussions.”
Aimee Byrd–”I picked up a copy of Sex, Dating, and Relationships as soon as I read the marketing for it because it sounded perfect for this summer. I LOVE THIS BOOK! One of my biggest praises is how deeply theological it is.”
Alex Chediak–”I read the whole thing this past weekend and thought it was excellent. It puts sexuality in a proper, gospel-rich context, and has some very powerful insights on the modern dating process and the dilemmas that many singles face.”
Collin McCulloch–”Hiestand and Thomas did Christian singles, young and old, a great favor by writing this book. Their explanation of the Bible’s teachings about sex and sexual relations outside of marriage do well to clear up many questions that single Christians have asked for a long time, and they give the best answer that I have yet heard for the famous ‘how far is too far’ question.”

About the SAET Blog
Welcome to the SAET blog. Herein you will find the theological/pastoral ramblings of the Rev. Matthew Mason, the good Doctor Jason Hood, and Pastor Gerald Hiestand. All three write under the premise that theology and the pastorate belong together, and that (at least some) pastors must once again function as writing theologians for the wider church, for the ecclesial renewal of theology and the theological renewal of the church.

Remember that time I carried a copy of my book around all Sunday, looking for you so I could give it to you to review, and then you weren’t there and I gave it away to someone else? Remember that time? I do.

Jason,
There’s still time (the world isn’t supposed to end until the end of 2012). Send me your new address and I’ll send you a copy to review.

Gerald: my review is up at Amazon and an edited review will go up on the Theology of the Body blog at Truro Anglican Church shortly. I will send you a link when it goes live.
Thanks for the opportunity to review! This is a wonderful book for young adults, teens, parents, and youth leaders.
